• Windows provide us with insulation, aesthetic
  appeal, and protection against the elements among
  other things. You may be moving into a new house,
  or you may be trying to change your windows. This
  PPT attempts to enlighten you on the type of
  window finishing you should employ in your home.
• Glazing improves the quality of your windows by
  adding insulation which reduces heat flow through
  the windows. This insulation reduces the cost of
  heating in your home or at your office. This
  helps to maximise the efficiency of the building.
  Glazing also reduces noise and reduces the amount
  of water that condenses on your windows. Now, let
  us talk about secondary and double glazing and
  their effects.

Why You Should Glaze Your Windows

• Better Insulation
• Glazing improves heat retention by adding a layer
  of insulation to reduce the amount of heat that
  is transmitted from the environment. This feature
  also helps to trap heat during colder periods.
• Noise Reduction
• The movement of sound in materials differs
  significantly. The sound effect reduces as it
  moves from solid to gas. Double glazed windows
  provide a gap or vacuum that takes advantage of
  this phenomenon. The intensity and speed of sound
  waves reduce as they move through double glazed
  windows.

What Is Secondary Glazing

• Secondary glazing involves adding another layer
  of protection to the inside of your window for
  some or all of the reasons listed above.
• This layer of protection can be an aluminium
  sheet or a sheet of plastic such as polycarbonate
  plastic. It also involves the addition of another
  pane of glass to the inner part (of an existing
  window) of a room or a building. They perform the
  same duties as a double glazed window. But the
  extent of their capabilities differ. Secondary
  glazing can easily be installed if you do not
  have a building permit for installing double
  glazed windows.

What Is Double Glazing

• Double glazing involves using two window panes
  separated by a gap held by a wooden frame or any
  suitable plastic material. The purpose of this
  gap between the window panes is insulation. The
  gap can be filled with an inert gas such as
  argon, xenon or krypton. Argon is the least
  expensive of these three and also the least
  effective. The gap between the panes can also be
  a vacuum. The gas-filled gap or vacuum between
  the windows reduces the heat transfer rate from
  one side of the glass to the other. Let us take a
  more in-depth look at these two methods of
  glazing.
